ACT IV Speaking of Rolls
The Master says,
“A roll.”
One roll crosses the ocean.
Then its name changes.
Yet somehow,
the thing itself remains much the same.
Sukeroku’s Note:
The California Roll spread throughout North America during the 1960s and 1970s.
Its exact birthplace remains debated.
What is certain is that it became a symbol of Japanese food adapting to a new culture.
Today, sushi, rolls, and even onigiri can be found all over the world.
